TRUMP NAMES EXXON CEO REX TILLERSON AS SECRETARY OF STATE|川普將提名美孚執行長提勒森 擔任國務卿

U.S president-elect Donald Trump has named former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. Tillerson has spent 40 years in the oil industry and has an estimated net worth of US$150 million. However, he has no previous experience in public office. Meanwhile, a man who has advocated for the abolishment of the Department of Energy, former Texas governor Rick Perry, has been tapped as Energy Secretary, signaling a drastic change to come in America's energy policy. Trump's choice for Secretary of State has been finalized. 64-year-old ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson has been tapped to become America's top diplomat. In response to concerns that Tillerson has never held public office, Trump stressed that his business experience in striking deals with governments around the world demonstrates his capability to protect America's core interests. ==DONALD TRUMP, US President-Elect== Rex will be a fierce advocate for America's interests around the world and has the insights and talents necessary to help reverse years of foreign policy blunders and disasters. However, his nomination faces an uphill battle in the republican controlled Senate, where his close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his company's massive vested interests in Russia have stoked concerns. In 2013, Putin presented Tillerson with the Order of Friendship, one of the highest honors a foreigner may be awarded from Russia. ==REX TILLERSON, US Secretary of State Nominee== I've known him since 1999. I have a very close relationship with him. Yet GOP heavyweights including former Secretary of State James Bakery, Condoleezza Rice and former Defense Secretary Bob Gates have all backed Tillerson's nomination. It has been confirmed that ExxonMobil is a client of Gates' and Rice's consulting firm. Meanwhile, media reports indicated that former Texas governor Rick Perry, a staunch supporter of deregulating America's energy sector, had been tapped as Energy Secretary. ==RICK PERRY, US Energy Secretary Nominee== We'll eliminate agencies that perform redundant functions. Get rid of the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. Many consider this a sign that America will backtrack on its investment in renewables and return to fossil fuels. TRANSLATED BY：JEFF CHANG 川普的國務卿人選終於敲定，現年64歲在埃克森美孚石油公司，服務了四十年，目前擔任執行長的雷克斯提勒森，他完全沒有在政府或是軍隊服務的經驗，但川普指出提勒森為了生意在世界各地走透透，和各種政府打交道，會是護衛美國利益的中堅力量。 ==美國候任總統 川普== 雷克斯將會在世界各地 堅實的擁護美國利益 同時具有扭轉多年 外交政策失誤與災難的洞見與才能 提勒森的任命案要在共和黨掌控的參議院過關，恐怕將有一場硬仗要打，提勒森和俄羅斯總統蒲亭密切的友誼，以及旗下石油產業在俄國的龐大利益，讓某些議員感到憂慮。2013年他甚至還從蒲亭手中，榮獲頒給外籍人士的最高榮譽友誼獎章。 ==川普國務卿提名人 提勒森== 我從1999年就與他(蒲亭)結識 彼此間有很密切的關係 不過，提勒森也獲得了前國務卿貝克、萊斯、以及前國防部部長蓋茲等人的背書，而萊斯與蓋茲目前都具有埃克森美孚石油公司顧問的身份。 ==前德州州長 裴利(2011.11.21.)== 我們將會廢除功能不彰的機構 擺脫商務部教育部能源部 而這位在2011年的競選州長的活動上，主張廢除能源部的前德州州長裴利，據傳有可能出掌能源部，意味著未來川普政府的能源政策，將從當前的再生能源轉為舊式的石化能源。 記者 王蕙文 報導
